Notes

Psalms 119:33–40

He (ה) is the fifth letter of the Hebrew alphabet. It marks the beginning of the next section of this psalm.

As a student, the poet asks his teacher, God, to renew life and to transform disgrace into righteousness.

Psalms 119:1–176

This psalm blends wisdom, lament, praise, thanksgiving, and confession. It often uses eight Hebrew words translated as:

“Instructions”
“law”
“words”
“commandments”
“statutes”
“judgments”
“promises”
“precepts“

These words encourage love for and obedience to God's instructions in the Scriptures (see 2 Timothy 3:14–17). A deep commitment to these instructions unifies the psalm.
